Multiproxy tree ring reconstruction of glacier mass balance: insights from Pinus cembra trees growing near Silvretta Glacier (Swiss Alps) [PDF]
Climate of the PastGlacier mass balance reconstructions provide a means of placing relatively short observational records into a longer-term context. Here, we use multiple proxies from Pinus cembra trees from God da Tamangur, combining tree ring anatomy and stable isotope ...

Mass-balance modelling of Gangotri glacier
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2017 Abstract The sensitivity of glacier mass balance (MB) in response to climatic perturbations has made it an important parameter of study from hydrological, climatological and glaciological point of view. To monitor the health of any glacier system, long-term MB observations are required. These observations among Himalayan glaciers

Heterogeneous glacier thinning patterns over the last 40 years in Langtang Himal [PDF]
, 2016 Himalayan glaciers are losing mass at rates similar to glaciers elsewhere, but heavily debris-covered glaciers are receding less than debris-free glaciers or even have stable fronts.

Temporal downscaling of glaciological mass balance using seasonal observations
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Glaciological mass-balance measurements have been the backbone of internationally coordinated glacier monitoring. The resulting annual observations have been used to understand glacier reactions to climate change, and to assess both regional and global ...

One Decade of Glacier Mass Changes on the Tibetan Plateau Derived from Multisensoral Remote Sensing Data [PDF]
, 2014 The Tibetan Plateau (TP) with an average altitude of 4,500 meters above sea level is characterized by many glaciers and ice caps. Glaciers are a natural indicator for climate variability in this high mountain environment where meteorological stations are

Sensitivity of mountain glacier mass balance to changes in bare-ice albedo
Annals of Glaciology, 2017 Albedo is an important parameter in the energy balance of bare-ice surfaces and modulates glacier melt rates. The prolongation of the ablation period enforces the albedo feedback and highlights the need for profound knowledge on impacts of bare-ice ...

Journal of GlaciologyLong-term time series of annual glacier mass balance is important for revealing a glacier's response to regional climate variations. However, for the Tibetan Plateau, time series of annual glacier mass balance with more than 10 consecutive years remains ...

Extrapolating glacier mass balance to the mountain-range scale: the European Alps 1900–2100 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 This study addresses the extrapolation of in-situ glacier mass balance measurements to the mountain-range scale and aims at deriving time series of area-averaged mass balance and ice volume change for all glaciers in the European Alps for the period 1900–

Mass-balance characteristics of arctic glaciers [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2005 AbstractA survey of available mass-balance data shows that glaciers on arctic islands, i.e. mountain glaciers and ice caps in northern Canada, Greenland, Svalbard and the Eurasian islands, share mass-balance characteristics of low annual amplitude and small interannual variability. By contrast, glaciers around the Arctic (e.g.
